I guess my point is that finding new creative ways to use software is just kinda what computer art is. Every piece of decent computer art I can think of that makes use of existing software falls into there. How can you make interesting computer art and NOT push the limits of what software was intended to do? (maybe there's a good answer to this...)
Which is why I think of "abuse" as a more destructive subcategory, where something is completely repurposed, destroyed, or rendered unusable for it's original purpose. another good example is Peter Luining's "formulas" Photoshop plugins http://formulas.ctrlaltdel.org/
Maybe I'm just desensitized to software abuse. ;o)
